Here are the steps to uninstall previous version of Acrobat in batch mode:

1) To uninstall any previous version of Acrobat you will need to create a batch file that will run the following commands:
For WinNT(4/5) platforms:

%WINNT%\ISUNINST.EXE -f "%Program Files%\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\NT\Uninst.isu""-c""%Program Files%\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\NT\Uninst.dll"

Note:You can find the path of the uninstallation file by looking into the uninstallString registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\uninstall\Adobe Acrobat xxx

where xxx is the acrobat version.

To run the uninstall in silent mode, you can add the following switch to the ISUNINST.EXE program:
-y "Suppressed the message box that ask the user to confirm that uninstallation should proceed"
-a "Run the uninstallation in silent mode. With this mode, when the uninstallation encounters a share file which in normal mode it would ask the user to remove the share file, however, in silent mode, the uninstall will assume that the user selects the "no to all" in regarding to remove share file.

2) Reboot your system

3) Install New version of Acrobat
